In a couple of weeks, I’ll be heading to India for vacation and with almost no research done, I mainly just have my infallible sense of adventure to get me pumped up. Well, and I also have a bunch of fragments through WOM to help me paint a very conflicting picture of India.

P.S. After I decided on India as my next destination, friends came out of the wood work proclaiming, “yes, I’ve been there too!” All of a sudden, India is the new mecca for off the beaten track tourism.

This is what I have pieced together so far:

-          Indian food is delicious

-          Indian food will get you sick

-          Mumbai has the potential to be very dangerous: guide might be needed

-          Goa, the beaches where most Bollywood films are shot, is a must see and hippies abound

-          Some parts of India are still very old school and despite the 100+ degree weather, women must wear long sleeves

I have no idea what to expect. But come April, I’ll report back on the awesome adventure that I’m sure to have
